Summary
A piece of ground breaking research suggests women are tending to marry men less educated than themselves. Twas ever thus… Esther and Giles are on trend, they have a ‘marriage of unequals’ with Esther technically more educated than Giles.
A new AI concept offers the chance to talk with fictional characters in books. Might Giles one day be able to chat with Hamlet…the app may prefer he stick to Lucy the turtle for now. Does Badger from Wind in the Willows have a dark secret?
In recent weeks Jeff Bezos and David Beckham have each thrown very glamourous parties. But are such parties any good? Do the people attending actually have any fun?
Finally, American singer Chappel Roan has lifted the lid on parents – they aren’t very happy. Of course not, they have children!
Oh, and President Trump’s ‘liberation day’ tariffs are bound to fail, just don’t ask Esther why.
